@nikitonsky I think the article may be onto something, but I don't like its use of the term "building".

> Open source was never just about writing code. [...] it centers around building. Building a library, building relationships with likeminded people, building understanding.

What's "building a library" if not writing code? Unless it's meant as a non-technical term, more like "building a collection of objects I cherish"...

@nikitonsky
To me building a community and building an understanding seem like they have little in common with building a library.

But also, maybe I just don't understand the term.

Is it meant the same way LLM boosters claim LLMs let them "build" much faster?
Or is it a different type of building?

github down?

@p
it's no LinkedIn either... does that mean you failed at your stated goal?

lowkey reminds me of a quote from a Polish 19th century theater comedy:

"Hej! Gerwazy! daj gwintówkę!
niech strącę tę makówkę!"

which means

"Hey! Jarvis! gimme the rifle!
I will pop that poppyhead!"

Ofc in the text where it comes from, it has nothing to do with removing scumbags from power, and everything to do with a neighbourly revenge, which the whole play makes fun of.

But since this is a hellthread anyway...

Yeah, but this stuff takes a decade to get from initial design to mass production. I think long term, Europe can do without the US, but the transition could be rough.

@p @phnt @SilverDeth @npc @cjd @mrsaturday @sun
tariffs, abandonment vs Russia (we're working on fixing this one), causing a war in middle east, cutting off golden parts for licensed production of US weapons, cutting off spare parts for weapons we purchased from US, embargo on space launches, embargo on integrated circuits, blockading our ports...

it's quite a wide range

@cjd @phnt @npc @p @SilverDeth @mrsaturday @sun
well, at least one of those acts as if he wants to replace humanity...

Oh, last time I didn't scroll far enough to see that there's a protocol proposal. Will give it a read later on.

Yeah, but there's only so far it can go, before US retaliates.

Not every communication platform was part of PRISM, and at that time unencrypted http was pretty widespread, so https matterd against "Upstream" (beam splitters in the mysterious room with no door handles, router rootkits, etc).

Well until bots using residential proxies made everyone hide behind CloudFlare :blobfacepalm:

The sovereign wants GDP, and I'm lucky enough that he can't yet generate GDP without keeping his subjects well fed and educated.

Unfortunately there are people who want to change that *gestures vaguely in the direction of the Silicon Valley*

@sun @phnt @npc @p @SilverDeth @cjd @mrsaturday
I'd rather be property of a local sovereign than of a global sovereign

@cjd
And by "fight" I mean any negative-sum process that hurts your enemy. Could be labor strikes, could be armed uprising, could be destroying civil infrastructure.
@phnt @npc @p @SilverDeth @mrsaturday @sun @rees

@cjd
IOW this is an is-statement not a should-statement, you're not claiming that doing such a thing would be good, only that it'd work?

@phnt @npc @p @SilverDeth @mrsaturday @sun @rees

@cjd

I'd also add a bit of crisis bargaining theory here:

Politics is a negotiated settlement to avoid civil war. Any negotiated settlement must reflect the balance of power. If the ruling class screwed up so badly that a civil war has a better expected outcome for you than working within the political system does, then you fight.

If you don't have a red line beyond which you will fight, then you have zero bargaining power.
